(5)The Peer Group Cumulative TSR set forth in this table utilizes a custom group of peer companies (the “Peer Group”), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Peer Group comprises Carriage Services, Inc., Hillenbrand Inc., Matthews International Corp., and Park Lawn Corporation. TSR is determined based on the value of an initial fixed investment of $100. Total return data assumes reinvestment of dividends.

(6)We believe normalized earnings per share drives the performance of the Company and enhances shareholder value. Normalized Earnings per Share is calculated by applying a targeted 24.2% effective tax rate to the Company’s calculation of its reported diluted earnings per share and further adjusting to exclude certain non-routine items as described in the Performance Measures section of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) on page 48. The following is the list of the metrics used by the Company to link the compensation of our NEOs to Company performance.
